FreeAgent Dockstar
Posted: Mon Aug 23, 2010 10:49 am
Hi everyone,
I would like to try LinuxSampler on a Seagate Dockstar to improve the pianosound of my Yamaha YPP-50 piano from 1989. The Dockstar has 128MB ram, 256MB flash, 1.2GHz cpu and a ARM processor.
The setup will be:
YPP-50 (midi out) -- Roland Canvas UM-1 -- Dockstar -- CSound soundcard -- YPP-50 (audio in)
I can connect to a GUI over the network (if needed).
The Dockstar runs Debian. It is possible to connect storage devices to the Dockstar so diskspace is not an issue here.
Now my questions:
- Is this feasable to do with Dockstar?
- What can I expect? (Performance/memory consumption)
- Which piano library should I use with this memory size?
- Can I compile LinuxSampler for an ARM processor with this specs?
- Is there any recommended Kernel settings for optimal performance?
- Which problems will I face?
Thank you very much for your help.
Greetings,
Bijl
